A MAN has been arrested in connection with dangerous driving, burglary and wounding.

Police in Burnley along with the National Police Air Service were involved in chasing the man down after his vehicle was stung on Sunday afternoon.

Officers acknowledged that members of the public many have been wondering why there was so much police activity around Burnley and Padiham that day.

A police spokesperson said: "This afternoon a vehicle was stung and after a short foot chase a male in his 20s who has previously been circulated as wanted has been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences including dangerous driving, burglary and wounding.

"This was a great team effort across a number of departments and we’d like to thank the public for their continued support."
